  1. Dear Mr Schwartz, Thank you for this videocast and your openness about your life. What I believe you have shone a light on is the reason why luck has played such a role in determining who gets the big brakes: capitalism. What your talk tells me is that with capitalism as our ecomonic motor, only a small percentage of people get to roll the dice. We will never achieve any kind of equality with capitalism as our economic system because of one simple factor that cannot be altered, tweaked, or changed: by its very design capitalism cannot give everyone a fair chance at having a good life.

  2. Mr Bremmer paints a picture of the world that takes us from technicolor back to black and white. The horrifying fact of President Putin willingly destroying a sovereign country and erasing its culture and rebranding it as Russian is so foreign to anyone in the the 21st century that all we can do of us it sit back and watch it passively unfolding on our television screens as reporters show us pictures of hospitals blown up, civilians leaving the country in droves and Ukrainian fighters holding on by their fingernails. Our civilization crumbles once again because a person of dubious mental health skillfully manoeuvered himself into the top position of power and on a whim has decided to disrupt a nation of over 40 million people and absorb it into a nation that spans 11 time zones and 9,000 kilometers. One person has changed not only 40 million Ukrainian lives, but he has affected the lives of everyone in the entire world and impregnated a new type of sadness in our consciousness that could be called griefache. Putin has given us a sort of 'griefache' in that we've never felt bad this way before. One thing is sure, I'll never be happy until Ukraine and Crimea have been returned to their rightful owners: the Ukrainians.

  3. What is good about the problem of deep fakes? I am using Anthony Robbins' question in one of his books about how to look at problems. The AI phenomenon is here to stay so what can we start doing today to insulate ourselves from getting conned? We must multiply our resources for everything we hear or see that is happening in the world around us. Yes; that's right: instead of listening to only your favorite news channel, get in the habit of tuning into other news channels.

  4. Let me be the first person to nominate Yuval to be the first symbolic President of the World and have him governing with a World Government that would oversee the necessary elements that would finance the prevention of climate breakdown.
